Full details of the J.C. Players’

sented on Nov. 23 in the auditorium
were announced this morning by

club.
The names of the “Three how¬
ling successes” are, “The Pot Biol-
ers”, The Goal Gate”, and “The

Miss Ivory.. ..Charolette Macomber
Mr. Inkwell . Everett Kadel
Ruler . Eugene Nelson
Mr. Ivory . Robert Chapin
In addition to the three plays,
a four reel moving picture will
be run off. “This is for the bene¬
fit of students who are dismissed
at 2:30, and who do not want to
wait an hour for the performance
to start,” states Mr. Margolis.
The movies will start at 2:30 and
will be shown before the pll'ays
are given.
The three plays are now being
produced under the direction of
Miss Elizabeth Keppie, dramatics
teacher, assisted by Margaret
Morrow, Charolette Macomber and
Margaret Cressaty, who have been
been acting as student directors.
The advance ticket sale will
start on November 18. Those in
charge expect to sell out the
house in two days. Admission
will be: adults, 25 cents; J. C.
and H. S. students, 25 cents;
junior high students, 15 cents.
Members of the high school
commission are co-operating with
the club to make this perfor¬
mance a success in a financial
way.
YELL LEADERS NEED NOT
BECOME SO HOARSE NOW
Although members of the cabi¬
net decided not to make an appro¬
priation for yell leaders’ uniforms
this year, they did authorize the
purchasing of megaphones for the
local “rah rah” boys. The new
instruments arrived last Friday in
time to be used before the largest
crowd to witness a Pirate game
this year. They are three feet
long and are made of fiber rein¬
forced by aluminium at each end.
Each is equipped with a new type
mouthpiece that allows greater
freedom of lip movement^mu each
measures fourteen inches across
the broadcasting end.
The megaphones are being dec¬
orated with the school colors this
week in preparation for the River¬
side conflict, and although they
were gotten late in the season,
they are durable enough to serve
many generations of yell leaders.
Another feature of last week’s
game was the use of individual
megaphones by the yelling squads.
These -were provided by Desmonds,
and are finished in blue and gold.
|One erstwhile Pirate rooter also
displayed a large megaphone,
gleaned, no doubt, from a phono¬
graph found among - the family
heirlooms.
RIVERSIDE PRODUCES PLAY
“The Youngest” is to be the first
play presented at Riverside junior
college this year. A class in play
production is now at work on the
comedy.

coal comment
INCOMPLETE
Along with the new desks the
cabinet should have ordered a
first-class bouncer. The over¬
crowded conditions in the A. S. B.
office are getting intolerable.
WHAT’LL WE DO?
Does the appearance of a sopho¬
more sweater on a girl denote
possession? If so, possession of
what?
NEVER SAY DIE
The fire of enthusian of college
seeing people emerge from their
quarterlies with smiles on their
faces we reached this conclusion.
ONE PRIVILEGE
We are to be placed on a plane
with other colleges, at least in one
respect. We have the privilege of
paying twenty-five cents a day on
overdue library books.
INEVITABLE
Those flunk lists are again in
circulation. We thought that our
student body was superior and
wouldn’t need them this year, but
we find that we are just aver¬
age and many are below that.
THEN OR NEVER
Those people who are always
lamenting because they have no
opportunity to show what they
can do have subsided a little this
week. They had their chance
during the exams recently in¬
flicted upon us.
MAYBE NOT
The supreme court is again ac¬
tive after a period of rest. How¬
ever, only one justice seems to have
survived the exams, for the names
of the other two are missing from
the proclamation posted in the A.
S.B. office.
TOO SERIOUS?
Perhaps much of our embar¬
rassment in this life is due to the
fact that we take ourselves too
seriously. If we could just stand
aside and laugh with the rest of
the world, there «would be less
time for self consciousness.
SPRING?
Certain old-timers rubbed their
eyes in wonder as a flock of
would be fairies disported them¬
selves on the front lawn this
week. After consulting the of¬
fice calendar we find that spring
is far away and are
а'- я
loss
to explain the why of tne Spring
dance. This is not Pershing
Square.
CHILDISHNESS APPARENT
That grade school element is
again noticeable in some J. C.
students. Dragging tin cans over
the pavement outside class rooms,
or in other words, running 1901
Ford up Sierra Bonita, is again in
vogue. However, students are not
dismissed from their class lectures
to watch the procession.
TO THE DAY
For a long year we have been
thirsting to scuttle Riverside.
Now, to quote a poem our team
is filled with, “The stern joy that
warriors feel, with foemen worthy
of their steel.” There is little
doubt that Riverside is worthy of
anyone’s best efforts. Many a
championship, team has stumbled
on a smaller pebble.' Turn out
Saturday and join in the big
Tiger killing.
TRADITION
Probably the historic game with
San Berdoo did more to crystalize
college spirit and make real tra¬
dition than any one event since
the establishment of Pasadena
junior college. It was one of the
finest examples of brain ” foot¬
ball played against long Cads,
both psychological and physical,
that it has been our privilege to
witness.

Costumes to Feature
Girls Hi-Jinks Party
One hour of free entertainment
and a whole evening of fun is be¬
ing planned for next Friday night
at the girls’ Hi-jinks, by the G.
A. A., W. A. A., and Big “P” clubs.
All girls are invited, and are
asked to come in costume, for a
grand march will be held, and a
prize awarded for the best cos
tume. There will also be old time
folk dancing for everyone.
According to Miss Elizabeth
Jensen, of the physical education
department, a very competent W.
A. A. fortune teller will do much
toward revealing the past, present,
and future of all who so desire.
. It was decided that a carnival
wouldn’t be a success without a
fishpond, so one has been arranged
with real and valuable prizes. It
is announced that by feeding a
duck, horns, caps, whistles, and
surpentine will be handed out.
Real honest-to-goodness moving
pictures will be shown, which af¬
fords a good chance to see your¬
selves as others see you.
Prizes will be given for the high-
point winner on the bowling alley
and baseball throw.
The program will include a solo
by Florence Hall, and a dance by
Madeline and Polly White. There
will also be a violin, piano, and
cello trio, and stunts will be put
on by each of the three clubs.
ADVERTISING CLUB
ENTERTAINS CLASS
Dining at the Maryland Hotel
next Monday noon, the members
of the junior college Advertising
class will be the guests of the
Pasadena Advertising Club. Pro¬
fessor Harold J.. Stonier, president
of the Los Angeles Advertising
Club and assistant to President
Von Klein Schmidt of U. S. C. is
to be the speaker. The Los An¬
geles Advertising Club is bringing
oyer a number of well known en¬
tertainers.
The Advertising Club is extend¬
ing this invitation to the class be¬
cause they realize that Pasadena
is in need of further advertisers
and they wish to encourage those
interested in the subject. In this
way the students will secure some
idea of the problems that are en¬
countered in actual pratice and be
able to meet them in the future.
LIBRARY HEAD GIVES
SECOND CLASS LECTURE
Reference books and their use
was the subject of the second lec¬
ture given to orientation students
by Miss Winnifred Skinner, head
librarian, on November 8. In her
talk she said that all human
knowledge is refei-enced in some
kind of book.
Miss Skinner defined a refer¬
ence book as one which is design¬
ed for consultation on a specific
subject. One of the most import¬
ant things to know when buying
books is their valuation. This in¬
cludes its authority, editors, pub¬
lishers, writers, and their sources
of references or other mater¬
ial. Another feature to be con¬
sidered is the scope of the book,
with what it deals. Besides this
kind of reference book, Miss Skin¬
ner mentioned the dictionaries, en¬
cyclopedias, year books, and pe¬
riodicals. In closing, Miss Skinner
gave some indexes on the division
of the library book which Miss
Baker had given at the preceding
lecture.
J. C. girls have been invited to
serve at the Near East dinner
to be given at the Hotel Mary¬
land on Friday, November 19.
Last year the dinner was served
at Vista Del Arroyo; the year be¬
fore, as this year, at the Hotel
Maryland. This has become an
annual event which is greatly
looked forward to. This year,
the music is to be furnished by
J. C. students.

Cosmopolitans Visit
Festival of Nations
Cosmopolitans report a very
enjoyable evening at the Festival
of Nations, given at the Poly¬
technic high, Los Angeles, last
Friday, November 5.
The program was very different
from that which the club mem¬
bers expected, being much more
elaborate, and furnishing a very
high-class entertainment.
The program represented the
spirit of youth who had been ad¬
vised by wisdom to visit various
countries of the world, China,
Spain, Japan and Russia.
The first scene was in China,
personifying the ancient civiliza¬
tion. Spain was the next repre¬
sented with beautiful settings
illustrating the atmosphere of old
Madrid, with songs, dances and
love making scenes.
The spirit of youth next
visited Japan, which was inter¬
preted by dances by Japanese
children. There were also stages
of primitive life, jfiving a review
of Japan’s first civilization.
Russia was the last country
visited. There was a village
scene, with dancing and singing
of the Volga Boatman, further
displayed by realistic action.
As an effective finale, a vivid
scene of war was protrayed, ap¬
pealing to the emotions of youth
to promote international under¬
standing, peace.
Y.W. CABINET HOLDS
. SLUMBER PARTY
First period this morning found
several members of the Y. W.
0, A. cabinet either asleep or
absent from classes. Such con¬
ditions were merely the natural
result of the slumber party held
Thursday night at the Campfire
club house.
The outing was originally
planned to discuss some of the
problems confronting the Y. W.
C. A. and to make plans for
more activities, but it turned out
to be an extemporaneous speech
contest, which lasted until late
at night.
Eleven girls met at six o’clock
at the foot of the toll road. They
came to school this morning direct
from the camp.
Miss Elizabeth Burgess, Y. W.
adviser, accompanied the group.
CABINET DECIDES TO
CLEAR S. B. OFFICE
That definite steps will be
taken in the near future if loaf¬
ers and idlers do not stay out
of the student body office was
decided at a meeting of the J.
C. cabinet on Monday. People
who have previously eaten their
lunches there are invited to use
the cafeteria, according to Charo¬
lette Macomber, vice-president of
the A. S. B., who is in charge
of the clean-up drive.
Anyone who has specific busi¬
ness to transact is welcome until
his business is done.
Permission must be secured
from Charolette before any club
or individual sets up a ticket
stand in the student body office.
These measures were instituted
because an overcrowded office is
not conducive to intelligent busi¬
ness transaction.
Miss Jones and Miss Hansen,
both from the Eastern Coast, who
now teach at the Huntington Park
high school, spent all-day Thurs¬
day visiting the English classes
of P. H. S. The expressed them¬
selves as delighted with the pre¬
sent up-to-date work they found
operating in the classes of the
English department.
HOLD J.C. MIX
Riverside J. C. opened its social
season last Friday evening with a
J. C. Mixer. The feature of the
Mixer was a treasure hunt.
Program of Ihdian
Music Here Nov. 15
Coming down though the ages
from mouth to ear, with little vari¬
ation for the original, the var¬
ious tribal melodies of the Amer¬
ican Indians remain epics of emo¬
tional splendor. Always coming
from the soul in a spiritual effort
to impress deep passion of love
hate or thankfulness, the Indian
melodies are the most touching of
all music.
When the deep throated warior
would win a lovely dark eyed
maiden, .he lowed his voice to the
strains of a murmuring pine; as
vistor in battle, he bellowed forth
all his compassoin and hate of the
vanquished; in praise of the ben¬
evolence of the Almights, he lent
his voice to the mighty expanse of
space in a song of songs blending
all the whisperings of time and
of the skies, and the color in the
sunset. All this, and a true under¬
standing of the whims and cares¬
ses of Mother Nature he put in his
song. In his song the Indian pours
forth from his soul in all the
breadth and passion of his sorr.ow
and joy.
On hearing the authetic music
of the American Indian as inter¬
preted by such a student as Thur-
low Lieurance, one can sniff the
sage and hear the murmuring of
the timbers and fairly see the out¬
line of a brave singing his praise
in the sunset of a vanishing day.
The coming of Thurlow Lieur¬
ance to Pasadena on November
15 is an event of outstanding im-
portantce as Mr. Lieurance is an
internationally known authority
on the tribal melodies of the In¬
dians of the United States.
A special matinee program at
3:45 in the hight school auditor¬
ium is to be given for the parti¬
cular interests of the students of
Pasadena public schools. The
auditorium is to be divided into
sections for the various schools
of the city.
Thurlow Lieurance, pianist,
composer, lectures and recitalist
of note, has gained his extended
knowledge of the music of the
American Indian in his field work
among the different tribes ‘
An unusual feature of the pro¬
gram is to be the festival chorus
of 300 voices, selected from the
junior high schools, high schools
and jujnior college of Pasadena,
and under the direction of John
Henry Lyons.
Another attraction of the pro¬
gram is to be the appearance of
Edna Woolley Lieurance, a gifted
pianist and the most prominent
exponent of Mr. Lieurance’s
music, Mrs. Lieurance is to ap¬
pear in Indian costumes lending a
distinct atmosphere to the pro¬
gram.
GLEE CLUB GIVES FIRST

Giving a program at the Cal¬
vary Baptist church last Tuesday

dena junior college men’s glee

The J. C. men’s glee club will
sing in the high school assembly
the Friday, November 12, by in¬
vitation of Miss Barmeley.
Miss Elma Halloway was a
guest of the English teachers at
luncheon at the John Muir tech¬
nical high school, last Wednesday.

assurance in planning affairs, ac¬
cording to Mr. Stems. A com¬
mittee consisting of Betty Rob¬
erts, Lois Ewing, Wayne ' Hack¬
ney, Jack Kern and Rhoda Clarke
